Tran Siberian

Lyudmila did not defy description. She was an easily lit, wide hipped, Stoli-drinking, schemer from Irkutsk that got her claws into an American riding the Iron Rooster from Khabarovsk to Moscow. Her voice was the prototype for the beautiful Russian spy in the recurring role that captivated Le Beau on Hogan's Heroes. It wasn't long before she was running girls in LA for Russian mobsters who had more chutzpah than cash. She could have been one of those girls just as easily but she was smart. Maybe too smart.

i give the fav partly in recognition of the piece's inherent blackness, hoping that the star might calm you down. or perhaps it is me that needs to be calmed down ... lyudmila might just hover over my dreams.

Like this one a lot. I had to read it a few times not because I didn’t get it but rather because it’s so smooth it goes by much too fast. It’s got lots of style and attitude packed into a small number of words.
